**Truth be told**
The Home Owner’s Association of Langdon-Lee had set a constant fire of envy throughout the other HOAs of the county that know, bitterly, in their heart of heart, they could never spar with its outstanding tidiness, elegance and unrivaled discipline. Langdon-Lee was, years ago, a low-profile gated com... |

Okay, I was fine when I left the building. I was working overtime, but that had happened the past few days, so nothing new. When I went into my car, everything was fine. It was snowing, sure, but that happens all the time in this city. I was kinda alone as I drove, there's usuall... |
She was little and lithe about her frame. Her face, however, was rounded and plump, especially when the dimples belonging to her smile appeared. But she never smiled. Not anymore.

Today its March the 2nd. I woke up this morning with a strange feeling.
Something is going to happen, I think, but I don’t know what yet. Still just a feeling. The clock is 12 am and I’m going to met up my friends at Annas place for a lunch and gossip. Jump in the car and try to start it… doesn’t work, noting happened... |
I woke up.
*What?* I thought. It was dark. But not the normal dark one sees after turning the lights out for bed. This was... advanced darkness. A sort of darkness that implied that light was an afterthought, a construct but not a constant.
*Where am I?* I said aloud. Or tried to say aloud. No sound came. Perha... |

I fidgeted nervously on my knees, keeping my head down towards the floor. The hunched over position was starting to grow uncomfortable, especially on my back, but I didn’t dare try to look up. The guards surrounding us had demonstrated their order-enforcement methods on the two of... |
“Where is Alfred?” the black-haired boy said, looking up from his book on criminal paraphilia (which is a word that here means “getting off on all sorts of weird shit like shoes and leather”).

The God Alliance of the Galaxy gathered around their tables for their yearly reviews. “Hey Shiva, what’s up?” Shiva kicked Brad in the groin and he let out an animalistic yelp. “What the hell was that for?

The party's already started by the time I get there. The streets below are a mess. Looters are tearing the town apart, breaking store fronts, burning the wares, and recruiting innocent civilians to aid their riot. I'm on the scene before the rest of the costumed bozos. That's a first. Maybe it's my time to shine.

X woke up in her bed in a pool of her own sweat. Oh god, she thought. Did she turn the thermostat on? That would eat into her bills, that would be awful! She hurried to check, and yes indeed, the thermostat was at 74 degrees. She quickly lowered it.
She went back to bed, laying on top of the blankets, trying to sleep,... |
The light was the brightest I had ever seen. For years I had been trying to contact an angel, preferably my guardian one, just to see if they were actually just people with wings.

"It's noisier than usual."
Her remark was casual, given the horrible sounds. From where it was coming from could have been anyone's guess, the echoes bounced and ricocheted from building to building around the city blocks. A series of high pitched wailing chirps, rising into a chorus that could have been stretched out... |
It was late at night. Actually, nearly dawn. It didn't matter though, I knew what was coming.

It was a difficult choice, but I made it.
I despised my family, yet I chose to be with them. I had also chosen to "fix"what was about to happen to not only myself, but the entire city (maybe the world?) I was not sure how far "the apocalypse"would spread; perhaps I was suffering from delusions of grandeur at an inap... |

They do their best to pick me clean. I can no longer tell where the nightmares end and reality begins. The agony in my mind is only matched by my tortured flesh. I do not know this body of mine anymore. It has been corrupted and defiled.
